Bexhill carnival


With over a hundred balloons to inflate and tie with ribbon it was a busy start to carnival day in the Ark office!!  This year to join in the fun and as some publicity for our latest promotion to shop locally - we decided that handing out helium balloons and some of our invitations would be a good way to join in the carnival celebration. 

It was a bit trickier than it looked and we got into a bit of a knot with our handfuls of balloons. We now have a new found respect for the man outside the office who was holding a far bigger bunch of foil balloons with no knotting issues at all (apparently its all in the combing of the ribbon!)  

Carnival followed its great traditions and we saw our usual favourite floats but best of all we enjoyed seeing lots of local people out to watch and enjoy the procession. 

We were impressed with the lovely manners of the Bexhill kids who gave us big smiles and thanks for their balloons – it is definitely a tradition we will maintain. 

Look out for a ‘shop locally’ invitation coming your way soon . . . . . . .
